Twitch is receiving backlash after Kai Cenat, the platform’s most popular streamer, was banned.
Kai Cenat holds the record for having the most subscriptions to his channel…more than 4.9 million followers.
A message on his channel reads: “This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”
Sources close to Dexerto have revealed it was due to “repeated explicit simulated sexual activity in GTA,” but fans were quick to point out the many sexually explicit channels on the platform…they are saying it is because he is Black.
According to Twitch’s Community Guidelines, sexually suggestive content is forbidden on the platform. “To ensure content on Twitch is appropriate for diverse audiences, sexually suggestive content is prohibited on Twitch. Evaluations on the sexual suggestiveness of a behavior or activity are independent of user attire and are instead based on the overall surrounding framing and context.”
Cenat’s fans were confused about the reason behind the ban. Some did think he was actually banned for the video below:
